Answer:

"In my day, we worked longer hours at our jobs."

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

A grandfather is comparing what work was like when he was young (50 years ago) to life in 2018. Which is NOT a statement he should make?

A)“In my day, we worked longer hours at our jobs.”

B)“In my day, jobs were more secure.”

C)“Back in the day, we had jobs that were really 9 to 5.

”D)“Back in the day, women often stayed at home while men worked.”

The work situation in 1968 is quite different from 2018 in many ways. Therefore the Grandfather comparing what work was like when he was young should not make a statement that contradicts fact. The working duration of that particular period is less than the twenty century(we had jobs that were really 9 to 5), likewise, the demographic distribution base on gender favor men than women (women often stayed at home while men worked.”) Lastly due to lesser population, jobs were more secure compared to 2018.

The correct option is "In my day, we worked long hours at our jobs."
